Didn’t expect this leftist garbage from a Baptist church.
Edit: thanks for the support pedes. My faith in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is not diminished. I’m just disappointed in the pastor. I will keep looking for a church that is rooted in God only.
That’s a shame that so many are falling for this crap. My company had a similar panel zoom on how we could be more understanding of racial issues and less insensitive, cuz middle class whitey has so much privilege. I’m looking harder for a new job now. As they say, get woke, go broke.
They are NOT that stupid, they are not "falling for this crap".
They have done a full analysis (as full as can be done in the 'mainstream') and have concluded that 'woke' is where the money is.
Anecdotal evidence suggests to me that their analysis is wrong. Goya being a recent example.
Goya is leading the turnaround, but how well is this covered in the mainstream?
We are the new trendsetters. Conservative is the new black.
This is correct, but because leftists have a stranglehold over most communication systems, it doesn't FEEL that way. Look at the Bubba situation for an example. Leftists are great at constructing a general vibe of the way things are out of absolute falsities.
So every single corporation in America got it wrong? Hope so but I doubt it.
Idk its highly possible that a well meaning person could really believe this. Social Justice is a religion in itself. If no one pushes back it seems to make sense. That's how sophistry works.
Thomas Sowell goes deeply into the psychology of the sjw in his book The Vision of the Anointed. His view of them is ours stated clearly and with references. If not quite a religion, there is definitely a typical belief system and relationship with others (They being the Anointed and the others being the Benighted or the mascots). Sadly he sees this as a self-reinforcing and self-rewarding coping system which hardens into unchangeable because they will not accept empirical evidence that contradicts the axioms of their beliefs. In this way they truly are mentally ill, in the basic definition I grew up with: they are not operating in the "real" world of most people who can adjust to reality as they see their assumptions are incorrect. So it seems to me a real test of the whole conception would be to find the right therapeutic approach. Lately there are many anecdotes of cures due to the shock of seeing beliefs put into action.
A few days ago, someone here at t_d.win made the comment "Self-righteousness is a powerful drug."
GOYA!
As a non-racist, she naturally assumes that blacks are incapable of independent thought, and therefore all agree with her, much like how dogs all naturally love their owners. So progressive of her.
Right but how much of that analysis is bullshit?
Like Rick Wilson was a GOP strategist?
Mine did too - with the blacks telling us how oppressed they were being the ones in high management and EXECUTIVE VPs!
Yes, they were the presenters for mine too.
The seminaries have been infiltrated by commies. They disrepect and teach a low view of Scripture and the social justice gospel.
It’s weird, I remember when Catholics were pro-life and passionately so. My mom marched on DC for the cause when I was a kid. Of course they’ve always been for open boarders to fill their congregations and their coffers. It’s so hard to find an institution to feel strongly about anymore, of any kind. It seems none have any core values, except greed and self-interest.
That's by design. They wrecked all the institutions so that they could replace them with their own communist state. This includes the Catholic Church.
We must become our own shepherds now just as Jesus told the Apostles to go out on their own.
"I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves."
Good advice for the religious and non-religious alike.
The Catholic church is still pro-life. Even assisting someone else in getting an abortion is automatic excommunication. The Catholic church considers any sexual activity that is not unitive and procreative (that is, open to conception..i.e., not purposely thwarting the procreative power of the sexual act) to be intrinsically immoral. It is not a matter of one's opinion, or of how they happen to read the Bible...these are the teachings of the Church. Now, if there are "catholics" who are pro-choice, they either don't know the teaching of the Church or they don't care, but they are in sin. You cannot reject Peter on account of Judas, in any case.
As for open borders, the Church is not for open borders, either. The Church does teach that we are first children of God, and that love of neighbor is God's commandment. The Church teaches that all people, to the extent that they are able and while not sacrificing proper care for those people (family, etc.) entrusted to us by God, must welcome the stranger. But that is not "open borders" and it has nothing to do with filling coffers.
Sincerely, I appreciate your response. And I’m sure there are parishes that still promote the old belief system, but the institution has been infiltrated by different thinkers and the undertones, in my opinion, are considerably different. One need only watch Pope Frances in action to believe that. In my view, it is and always has been an institution motivated by coffer-filling. I’ve seen it up close too many times. When your priest drives a Mercedes and sends parishioners to your house asking for pledges and to see your tax-returns, there is a problem (true story). We can agree to disagree.
I thought the same thing. The moderator/CEO was the only Caucasian speaking and he kept asking the others “what can we do?” I thought, bring in a POC for your job...
